Filed Nov. 30. 1927 INVENTOR ATTO R N EY Patented. Aug. 19, 1930' PATENT OFFICE CHARLES RQMANCHAK, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK WATER-FAUCE T ATTACHMENT This invention relates to an attachment for hot and cold water spigots, the general object of the invention being to provide a rubber tube having its ends shaped so that they 5 can be passed over the ends of the spigots and the tube having a central outlet nipple to which can be attached a spray tube or the like, or the nipple canbe used alone to provide water for washing the hands or face, so that 10 itis not necessary to use the water in the washbowl, thus avoiding danger of infection.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts. to

15 be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying draw- :3 ings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is an elevation, with parts in sectiobn, showing the invention used with a spray tu e.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device itself.

Fi ure 3 is a view showing the device used as a rinking fountain.

Figure 4 is a view showing the device used for providing water for washing thehands, face, etc.

' As shown in these views, the invention comprises a tube 1 of rubber or the like, the 3 ends of which are provided with enlargements 2 which are designed to slip over the ends of the hot and cold water spigots A. A

nipple 3 is formed at the center of the tube and a metal ring 4 is placed in the end of the nipple to expand the same into a flange 5. A spray tube 6 may be attached to the nipple by forcing one end thereof over the flange, as shown in Figure 1, so that the device can be used lior supplying hot and cold water to thespray tube. By opening the hot and cold water spigots to the proper extent,

the temperature of the water escaping from the spray tube can be regulated. Of course, it will be understood that other tubes can be Application filed November 30, 1927. Serial No. 236,857. I

connected with the device by slipping one I hands in the basin. Of course, the device can 1 be so placed that the nipple will be in a depending position, as shown in dotted lines in Figure 4, and the water caught by the hands, as before. I

Figure 3 shows the device used as a drinking fountain. In this case. the tube is so attached to the spigots that the nipple extends upwardly so that by opening the cold water spigot, the water will flow upwardly from the nipple, and by placing the mouth overthe same, a person can quench his thirst without bringing his mouth in contact with any part of the water supply means.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is A device of the class described comprising a straight length of resilient tubing having its ends enlarged so that said ends can be pressedover a pair of spigots and an outlet nipple at the center of the length of tubing and extending at rightangles therefrom whereby the tubing can be connected with the spigots, with the nipple depending therefrom or arranged horizontally or in an upright position.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

CHARLES ROMANCHAK.
